J - © Well, Nat, the chief knows all, and 1 Was just in time to save poor Goldsmidt from arrest. “T met him asI came up and told him the story, too, He was positively scared at his narrow escape, and says he wishes to do something handsome for the detectives who ran the murderer down, so you see you get it on all sides,” ‘Yes, sir; and now if you will go and eall on Mrs. Marsden, and tell her all, you will do a great favor, for she can write the news to her brother, who. has so long suf- fered as a guilty man.” **T will go at once, Nat.” ‘But it would be just as well not to let her know that Olive was a girl detective.” ‘* Yes, that need not be told,” Sherman Canfield started away upon his mission, and the reader can picture the joy of Mrs. Marsden, and that of her unhappy brother when the truth became known, and he was no longer a hunted man. There was rejoicing, too, in the band of Secret Ferrets at their success, and the mon- ey they had earned. It greatly encouraged them to go on with the good work of running down the crooks, when even the King of the Gallows had been captured by their young leader, New York Nat. THE END. os Next Haur-Dime Lrprary, No, 909, - Midshipman Dare, THE PIRATE-CATCHER: R, THE SEA ROVERS OF ’98. A Tale of the Grand Old Frigate United States, -————_-_—_——— BY T. J. FLANAGAN, A story so stirring and redolent of the sea, and sea glory that every reader is enthused with patriotic ar dor in the reading, “It introduces a number of offi- cers of our first great navy, who became noted for their brilliant career in the War of 1812-15; and in the pirate-chasing and privateer-capturing where all 4 received their first lessons in sea-fighting, the noble old United States and other vessels, on whose decks the action of this story transpires, the reader has a record he will not soon forget, Dare is the typical American who rises from ‘ob- scurity, to become not only a hero, but a national favorite, And that he is here a gallant lover as well as gallant sailor, will not fail to give the romance all the interest that a heroic heart and noble nature can command. — Itis a mos%. delightful contribution to American light literature.
